Summary – One person can make a huge difference to the world…even if that one person is Logan.

I Wish I was never born
Chapter two: Duncan Kane

There was Duncan Kane. He looked so tired, so afraid. Logan could see bags under his eyes.
"W-what's wrong with him?" Logan asked, not taking his eyes off his best friend.
"Without you ever born, his anti-depressant pills aren't enough. He needs more help than pills. He needs his friends and families support. But he tries convincing himself that he's fine."
"Why is he so depressed?" Logan asked.
Lynn then turned around to another sight.
After Duncan had walked into the gym, Logan also turned around.
There she was. The girl that haunted him in his sleep. The girl who he cared about. The girl who could kill him with her head-tilt and her pearly whites. She was as beautiful and as radiant as ever. She didn't even look like she was ageing.
"Does Veronica have anything to do with Duncan?" asked Logan, not taking his eyes of Veronica.
"Well.. They were together during graduation, until Duncan showed his depressing side to her. He would lash out on her so she ran away." Lynn said.
"Even as we speak, she's using her Nancy Drew skills to hide from Duncan. He doesn't know where she's been and he doesn't know that she got married."
Logan winced at the last word that Lynn had said. He turned to look at Lynn then turned back to look at Veronica. Casey Gant had walked over to her and slipped an arm over her waist. She smiled forcefully and they walked over to the gym hand in hand.
"Well, at least she's happy.."
He blinked hard to stop a tear and walked away to the gym.
Lynn looked at Veronica and Casey Gant. Veronica turned around to walk into the gym and Lynn gasped at the bruise just under her left eye.
Yeah. I bet she's happy thought Lynn as she walked to the entrance of the gym.

The gym was dimmed and it was filled with colorful streamers. Lynn spotted Logan. He was trying to reach out to Duncan. Lynn then ran over to her son and stopped his arm from touching Duncan's shoulder.
"No! You can't do that!" Lynn said while pulling Logan to the other side of the gym.
Logan looked back at Duncan while getting pulled by his mom. When he turned his attention forward he saw Veronica. She was dancing with Casey Gant and they were dancingvery close. Logan stopped and just stared. Lynn continued to tug and pull at Logan's hand but he didn't move. He was too wrapped up in the sight of the gorgeous blonde and her husband dancing.
Logan looked down at the ground and walked out of the gym leaving Lynn. Lynn then followed and she spotted him on the stairs drenched in tears. He covered his face with his hands.
"Logan. Honey, are you okay?" Lynn asked while taking a seat next to him and placing a hand behind his back. She was rubbing comforting circles on his back.
"Get. Me. The. Fuck. Out of here." Logan said while looking up to Lynn.
They both just sat there staring at each other. Lynn didn't move. She had never seen him so broken before since…Lilly died.
"Bring me home!" Logan screamed and jumped off scaring Lynn. He was gasping for breath.
Suddenly the gym door flew open.
It was Veronica.
She was running out until Casey Gant caught up to her pace and pulled her so she was facing him.
"You, are NOT going anywhere. You understand me? We are going to stay her and have fun."
Casey Gant said while looking into her eyes. Casey held his firm grip on her hand and Logan saw the pain Veronica felt. She nodded trying to hide the pain in her face. Casey let go of her hand roughly and walked back to the gym.
Veronica didn't move. She stood there until her knees gave in. She collapsed onto her knees and started crying.
Logan didn't believe what had un veiled in front of him. Logan turned to Lynn then back at Veronica. Logan couldn't just stand there. He ran over to Veronica and stood in front of her. When Veronica had lifted up her face he too collapsed on his knee.

Logan saw the bruise just under her left eye, and he broke down in tears as Veronica got up, wiped her face with the back of her hand and walked back into the gym.

If Logan was born, could he of saved Veronica?
